Proper break this time
But... Look, generally foraging means wild food, not cultivated food. Of course there are grey areas, but basically if you're taking someone's crops, it's not foraging.

early days, Stan
But you talk about stealing and I suspect that as illegal in Portugal as it is here

Aye you're right turning up pissed and dishevelled at a Buddhist temple would make them both suspicious and judgemental of your motives. You would probably get on better with the catholics.

So you've not broken the law yet, but you fully intend to?
First a couple of apples, then a few carrots, then maybe some freshly laid eggs, then a whole chicken, then a crate of wine...
It's a slippery slope Stan, when you start to view thieving as acceptable, it's the thin end of the wedge - your boundaries of acceptable thieving will slowly broaden over time, one day you'll be stealing a farmer's hard earned crops, the next it'll be his tractor, before you know it you'll be holding his dog for ransom.
Get out now, whilst you still can, get yourself a real job & leave the life of an itinerant thief behind you.

You would only get 21 days of a bear ffs. Good way to lose weight though.

Pretty sure Stan has Marx on his side.
The law made the collection of fallen branches for firewood illegal and prosecutable by the forest owners. To begin with, as Marx notes, “Just as it is not fitting for the rich to lay claim to alms distributed in the street, so also in regard to these alms of nature.” In response, Marx calls for a universal “customary rights of the poor.”

Ah yes, the tried & trusted Marx defence. Well if that doesn't keep Stan out of the clink I don't know what will.

Stan needs his Engel's to keep him organised and on the true path whatever that is...

I am concerned about your fluid intake, Stan. Whatever alcohol you are drinking, please make sure you have plenty of water or soft drinks because your biggest danger is your internal organs not working properly, regardless of how many angry farmers you may encounter.
Good morning.
It is raining. Light drizzle, Welsh July sort of rain. Looks set for the day, but this is mountains near the Atlantic. It could all change as the sun above gets hotter. I don't like getting wet, so I am expecting an expensive day staying dry in bars. Possibility of sketching this afternoon and a bit of harvesting this morning to collect lunch. The local supermarket sells brollies at the checkout like *Asda in the UK sells batteries and chewing gum! My first Portuguese rain experience in Two weeks - I was lucky.
I was thinking about cheese all night long. How do I get my hands on cheese legitimately? Possibly the same way as eggs. There has to be a solution. If I could find a cheese maker to exchange a sketch for 500 Grammes...
*Apparently batteries and chewing gum are the most commonly stolen items in UK shops. This is why they are kept under guard close to the tills. I doubt that is the case with umbrellas in Portugal, but who knows; they're a strange lot - they eat cold burgers here. Cold burgers like the ones my mates recycle from the bins outside Burger King.

Well, thank you.
I am actually on a health mission here also. I am reducing my beer intake day by day whilst drinking lots of water from springs as I hike.
Stan's internal organs gave up years ago and agreed to offer him basic functionality in exchange for a day off on religious holidays.

where did you sleep , Stan ?
There is a beautiful sketch to do here incorporating the central plaza with town hall with mountains and castle in the background, fountain in the foreground. I have no doubt it would sell if the rain goes. It could sell lots of times. Whilst I am treating this as a holiday after making plenty of cash in Porto, I still need cash. So, probably not walking today. I did lots of uphill KM's on a very dangerous road yesterday. My legs are stiff.
I am in no rush. I will be rushing if the cash runs out.

There are cheap chambers here. It is a very posh place, but still very affordable. A browse through a local estate agents magazine tells me that €165,000 buys a Five bedroom/Three bathroom house with 250 Sq/Metre garden for just €165,000. If you were a property collecting business type, I reckon Airbnb would cover your mortgage very easily.

you are aware that alchohol fucks the muscles and make it far far more likely that you will injure yourself exercising yes?
I am more aware through experience that alcohol fucks your brains and make it far more likely that a lack of cognition could kill you. Yes - I know how alcohol works.
